Chapter 343 Night Banquet in Qianjiao Garden (8)

Just when the atmosphere of the banquet reached a stalemate, Xiang Feng, who was sitting in a high position, suddenly chuckled. He closed the gift list and account book in his hands, threw them to the attendants beside him, and said:

"Okay, what are you all making such a fuss about? I see, Qi Lian is right - you are too rude. You should learn a lesson and remember it."

As he spoke, he glanced at the entourage on the other side and said, "Don't read it either. Put away the gift list and account book first. I'll look at them later."

The attendant who read the gift list replied respectfully, "Yes", and then put away the pile of account books and left.

at the same time--

Lou Xiyue noticed the movement at the banquet, followed the attendant who took away the account book, and had an idea in mind:

The "stolen goods" donated to Xiang Feng from various places are evidence that they formed a clique for personal gain. As long as these account books and gift lists are obtained and presented to the emperor, the emperor will be furious. In this way, Fu Guan will be able to become a famous teacher.

Lou Xiyue thought for a while, then called the maid and said, "I have to leave for a while. Go and tell Mr. Nie that I'm going to perform a dance. Go down and change your clothes first, and then go back."

The maid nodded in agreement, and then Lou Xiyue quietly left the scene.

After she completely left the table, she avoided the eyes and ears of the guards and attendants, and chased her in the direction where the attendants left just now.

After a while, the attendant turned into the study, unlocked it with the key, put the account books and other items inside, then locked it again and left.

Lou Xiyue waited until the other party was far away before showing up.

She looked around warily, her eyes falling on the copper lock. She rolled her eyes and immediately took off the hairpin on her head. She inserted the hairpin into the keyhole and turned it a few times. The next moment, there was a "click" and the copper lock opened!

Lou Xiyue immediately closed the door to get something, but in the blink of an eye, he grabbed two books and hid them in his arms.

She got her things, turned around and immediately locked the door and left.

About half a quarter of an hour later, Lou Xiyue stopped under a dark wall. She looked up at the dark sky and immediately blew three short whistles. The next moment, a black shadow fell in front of Lou Xiyue——

"What is the princess' order?"

"I think these evidences are enough to prove Prince Xiang Feng's disloyalty. You give it to Fu Guan. Fu Guan knows what to do." Lou Xiyue handed the stolen account books to Xuan Yi and said:
"With these things, half of our mission tonight is completed."

Xuan Yi reached out to take it and held it tightly in his hand: "It's not too late, my subordinates will do it now!"

After saying that, the two of them dispersed in the dark night.

Xiang Feng leaned back on the seat, holding a single chopstick in his hand, and tapped the wine glass carelessly, and two soft "ding-ding" sounds echoed around him. He said:
"Qi Lian is our new friend. You can't be rude to others - I'm here today. If anyone dares to make fun of Qi Lian, I will punish him."

Magistrate Yong'an was the first to say: "It's all to Magistrate Lening's fault that he insists on making a bet with Mr. Qi. You must know that Mr. Qi is an honored guest that His Highness sincerely invites. By doing this, Magistrate Lening clearly doesn't take your Highness seriously." Guilty?

"Your Highness, Magistrate Lening is so presumptuous, you must punish him well and teach him a lesson, otherwise he will not have a long memory!"

As soon as the words fell, Magistrate Lening became anxious: "What an old man!" He gritted his teeth angrily, then hurriedly stood up and accused Xiang Feng:
"I have absolutely no intention of despising Your Highness! Your Majesty, I was just drunk, so I lost my etiquette and said some drunken words. None of my drunken words are true. Your Highness, please be aware of this and forgive me!"

Xiang Feng raised his hand to interrupt him: "Okay, I know you didn't mean it, so there's no need to say anything more."

Magistrate Lening was overjoyed: "Thank you, my humble official..." "But it was you who started it first, and it is indeed your fault." Xiang Feng smiled and said, "I want to punish you. ”

Magistrate Lening's expression changed slightly: "This..."

"Don't be nervous." Xiang Feng said: "Today is a good day. It's not good to fight and kill, so let's do it like this -"

He winked at the attendant, and then the attendant came up holding a small, dark red box. Xiang Feng opened the box in front of everyone. He took out a pill from it and held it in his hand:

"As punishment, it's up to you to try the properties of this new medicine today."

"..." Magistrate Lening looked at the medicine in Xiang Feng's hand and swallowed hard. He looked frightened: "W-what kind of medicine is this?"

Is it poison, or...

"Why are you nervous?" Xiang Feng laughed and said, "It's just a medicine to boost your mood. It doesn't hurt your health, and it also makes you feel relaxed and happy."

When he said this, Xiang Feng had a curious and exploratory smile on his face: "Master Qi said that the effect of this medicine is very good, but I have not seen it with my own eyes. Now that there is such a good opportunity, Magistrate Lening , don’t be a spoiler.”

After saying this, the attendant beside him immediately understood. I saw the attendant taking the medicine and striding towards Magistrate Lening.

Magistrate Lening retreated hurriedly: "Wait, wait!——"

Before he could resist, the attendant forced the medicine into his mouth!

Magistrate Lening's eyes suddenly widened, his throat rolled up, and he swallowed the medicine in one go! Then he lost all strength, staggered and fell back, and in the blink of an eye he was sitting on the ground motionless.

His eyes were straight, staring straight ahead, as if he had lost his soul for a moment.

All this happened so quickly that no one had time to think about it, and watched as Magistrate Lening fell there in despair. For a moment, all the guests were shocked and confused, just like Monk Zhang Er was confused.

Within the venue, only Xiang Feng and Qi Lian were calm and composed.

While they watched Magistrate Lening's reaction carefully, they spoke:
"Qi Lian, how long does it take for this medicine to take effect?"

"Your Highness, please wait patiently. It won't take long, and it will be effective." Qi Lian said with a smile: "You can count five numbers silently, five, four, three, two, one..."

As his last syllable fell, Magistrate Lening, who had fallen motionless on the ground, suddenly twitched his hands and feet!
"Hey, it moved, he, he moved!" Someone shouted.

The eyes of everyone present fell on Magistrate Lening, and they waited with bated breath...

At this time, Magistrate Lening was seen twisting as if he felt uncomfortable somewhere on his body, and then slowly slid down sideways, curling up slightly in a side-lying position.

Magistrate Lening's hands suddenly became restless, touching him here and there, and at the same time he let out a dissatisfied groan in his throat.

Amid his groaning movements, everyone caught a glimpse of his hands reaching into the hem of his clothes, stroking deeper and lower...

In an instant, all the guests suddenly realized.

They looked at each other and smiled, their eyes frivolous: "So it's this kind of 'fun' medicine..."
